S-10 Clutch

Hello everyone! I have just purchased a clutch kit for S-10 and I would like to now if I need to modify anything else besides machining the flywheel flat and readjusting the ball type bolt. I have a Getrag 240 installed. Appreciate your input GUYS!! Cheers!!:D

For a Getrag transmission, you will have to grind the bellhousing inside to clear the clutch is one area. It will spin over, but will hit and make a lot of noise. The new clutch adjustment should be 4.75" instead of 4.25".

  4. Clutch, Transmission and Drive-train Upgrades
    Finally got around to it and made a bell housing for a Borg Warner T-50 5 speed out of an Omega/Vega. Since it is not possible to just make an adapter I had to make this one from scratch. It all went well but the chamfer at the end of the input spline is a little different and will have to...
  5. Clutch, Transmission and Drive-train Upgrades
    I know this topic has been spoken on over and over. It seems that most people tat are building/swapping their GTs have also gone with a rear end swap as well.
